Milk- 'IMPRGVEMENT 'IN 'SODA-'FOUNTAIN Maw- The Schedule referre to inthese Letters Patent and making part o' the same.

I, S. B. SPR-ING, of Geneva, in the county of Ashwater tohe drank. SaidYgenerator is placed in the v tabula and State'iof Ohio, havenvented'certain- Improvemen'ts in Soda-Fouutains, of which the followingis -aspeciiicatiom f Objective.

This invention relates t'. soda-fountairnthe 'same being so constructedand arranged' that a continuous stream of soda-water isproduced whenrequired,'and at a low degreeof temperature, without the use of agenerator and cooler ordinarily employed for that purpose..

.U1-acompa Figure 1 is a front viewof the fountain.'

Figure 2, a-top view' ofthe inside.

' Figure '3, an end view'of the inside.

Like letters of reference refer to like parte in the several views.

Description A represents a box or. the bodyof the fountain', which maybe constructed of Wood, stone, orof other material of a suitablenature,and of any capacity' that may be required;

Arranged vwithin saidv box is a pump, erated from the outside by thehandle C. Said pump stands upon the iloorof the box, but not close ortight thereto, there being,r a space left between the` bottom ofthe pumpand the floor of the box, for a purpose hereinafter shown.

D' is a receiver or air-vessel, put in direct commuf nic-ation' with thepump by means ofa pipe located at .or or near the bottom.

. E is an eduction-pipc, leading from the air-vessel Aor receiver to theoutside, where it terminates'in thej draught-cock F.

Arranged along the frontside of the box are a number of sirop-cups, G,which maybe more or less incumben as. the varieties of the sirup usedfor savoring the soda-water may demand.

H1 are the draught-cocksfor drawing,r the Sirup.

Operation B', 3, op-..

`. other, and operated in the described. and for the purpose set-forth.

cel}ar,or in some other convenientplace, and is put in communicationwiththe fountain for draught by means ot' a pipe, a large portion oi whichis coiled within a 'cylinderpiilled `with ice. This construction andarmngementof the apparatus is not; only very expensive at the iirstcost,but it is also attended with large expense to keep clean and in goodworking order,as the pipe, byitsgreat lengthfisliable to injury.Alsofthe generator requires to'hedetach'ed from the" apparatus andremoved for being charged ,with the necessary fluid as often as it mayhave become exhausted, A

which isra mettervi' much care, laberfand expense. To avoid this expenseand trouble is the purpose of 'myinventioxn the practical yoperation ofwhich being as follows, viz:

Into the box A' is put the solution of soda or other `fluid, which isthen keptcool by' the presence of ice, thereby dispensingewitli, theordinary generator and' the range yot' cooling-pipes constituting apmtofthe ordinary fountain. From 'the vbox the solution i's Apumped htovthe receiver or air-vessel `D, which, on being charged therewith, thecompressed airtherelu will force it outirom the dra\1ght-cocksin acontlnu- V'ons unbrokenstream into the drinkiugcup containing a'portionof sirop` previously drawn from the vessels prepared with a smallpercentagey of l'ely eervescenoc to take place, and

G, which, being acid, causes a l, thus afford a pleasant cooling drink,equal to than obtained by tbeordinary sodaffountain, less expense, `in'view of my comparatively inexpensive apparatus. A"Ehe-simplicity oft-hel construction and. arrangement of this appalatus is suoli that itiseasily. f

by Letters Patent, is l The pump B, airvessel or receiver D, Sirup-cupsG, draught-cocks H Fand caseor box A, and E, when combined and arrangedin relation' to each S. B. SPRING. Witnesses:
